Why are my eyes overly tearing? I can't see it's so bad?

My eyes run all the time. Its so bad that it is unsafe for me to drive a car. When I go into a market I can bearly see what I am doing, the tears are so heavy. What should I do? I have been on this med for less than a week. Will the tearing stop?

Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: slow/irregular heartbeat. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical attention.

I am going back to the Doctor who gave me the Timolol Ophthalmic. She thinks that it maybe tied to the, Flutcasone Nasal spary, I have been taking for years. I'm not so sure! Does Timolol Ophthalmic and Flutcasone not go together?

You should have mentiond that on your question..it would have helped to know you were taking somrthing else.

I found this in a search; Either the tears are being produced too fast for a normal tear drainage mechanism to carry away (like water in the streets during a cloud-burst), or the tears are produced at a normal rate but the draining mechanism is partially or completely blocked If the tear drainage mechanism is normal then I would see a specialist in external eye disease-cornea specialist and concentrate on excluding 'dysfunctional tear syndrome' (poor quality tears). I think you would be a good candidate to try a 2-3 months of Restasis a prescription eye drop that improves tear quality and decreases inflammation on the surface of the eye. Hope this is of some help
